How do you clean the fan when dust accumulates inside?

A can of air works a lot easier. Just make sure to take it outside when you clean it or else dust will get everywhere.

There's a YouTube video that goes through the process of disassembly to properly access the area that requires cleaning. It looks a bit daunting and time-consuming and it voids the warranty. Blowing compressed air is what the manufacturer recommends. Here is a link to the Owner's Manual available online: https://www.sevilleclassics.com/uploads/products/pdf_20110831145622_10111%20Tower%20Fan%20English%20Instruction%20Sheet%20091027.pdf

A box of the Swiffer dry dusting cloths will come in handy for this. I use a single layer in front of my computer air intake fans, do the same with any of these fans. It won't look very pretty, but they work well to keep dirt out.

No, you can not disassemble the fan to clean easily. That is, you'll have to unscrew six screws in back of the fan, and that only allows you to clean the back of the fan. Unfortunately, you'll need to dust clean your fan daily, to avoid any clutter. Other than that, the fan works great.

Remove the four Phillips head screws on the back of the part that the fan blades are contained within, it should snap out/off so that you can get access to the fan blades to clean dust build up off them.

I have no problem cleaning the blades. The fan is working really well and I love the quietness. I have used it every night and all night just to keep the air moving in my bedroom. I would buy this fan again.

I only clean the unit after the winter weather is over. Just pull the front cover off, blow it out or use a duster. Their really isn't much to clean........

I have never attempted to take the fan apart, because, so far, I haven't needed to. I just dust it, regularly, and use a hand held vacuum to it...still seems bright and new, and not dusty. I like the fan very much....CHEERS!!

I don't know what the manufacturer recommends. I would do what I do w/my similar items. I have a small blower for my keyboard, my refrigerator coils, my TV, etc. It blows out the dust. Then I vacuum up the bits of dust that float out of the item. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

We do not have carpet were the fan is being used but there is some dust on the ceiling fan that we need to clean off now and then. Not sure if it's extra dust kicked up from the tower fan or not. We did buy an electric air purifier that we turn on once in a while. I guess it could be the reason for the dust but the fan isn't causing alarming amounts of it. Not sure if this really answers your question. Sorry.

It's been awhile since I cleaned mine but as I recall, you can take a small flat screwdriver and put the tip between the light cover and the fan housing and lightly pry the cover out. I believe the tabs that lock in the light cover are on the vent sides of the fan housing so that is where you need to pry the cover with the screwdriver. It's also a good idea to clean out the vent openings periodically by either vacuuming out the dust or taking the fan housing down and washing it out. Hope that helps.

Cleaning isn't required or possible, since the unit burns mold particles rather than filters air. Ours seemed very effective. We use it to reduce molds that come in from the open window. Our first unit lasted 2.5 years before burning out this past weekend. We'd already bought a second unit for a different location. I'll be buying a replacement for the one that just died.

Not sure what you mean by open and clean. I live in Texas and the dust here is HORRIBLE! I just take it outside, spray it with a hose being careful to not get too much water in the motor and let it completely dry. Easier than taking other fans apart.

I never tried to open mine & am not sure u should! ;) I use compressed air (like those cans sold for use on computers) & a vacuum & wipe it down. According to user manual: "The fan grilles are removable for cleaning by gently prying the grille from fan using a small screwdriver on the rim of the grille. (DO NOT INSERT SCREWDRIVER INTO THE GRILLE). Use only a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the fan clean." http://homeappliance.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/honeywell/hw628.html?p=6

I think the air pump at a gas station would also work. This time I am going to spray it with vegetable non stick and see if the dust comes off easier. On my larger fan I left the screws out and put the fan back together with bread twistys. That makes taking it apart quicker.

Yes, it is easy to clean. I haven't had any issues with dirt buildup yet, but a can of compressed air would easily clean out the fan areas. So far all I've needed to do is wipe down the outside for the little bit of dust that has gotten on it, and I've had it for several months and use it on a constant basis.

When the fan is off you simply use a damp rag. If the area you are cooling is dusty it will blow dust, but any fan would do that.
